A few Westerners walked out when the car doors opened.The person leading the group sized up Harvey York momentarily.“Mr. Kyren’s asking you to join him.”“Mr. Kyren? The Silver Knight?”Harvey seemed calm. He entered the car without hesitation.Half an hour later, the cars came to the edge of a desert.Hundreds of people stood with their arms folded. Judith Pedler’s father, Kyren Pedler, was in the middle of the crowd.He crossed his arms while looking at the sight before him. His white shirt fluttered in the sandy wind.Behind him, the elderly God of War looked at the sky while pondering something.“Please, Sir York.”A Westerner gestured without any intention of getting closer to Harvey.Hundreds of people around instantly looked at Harvey.Their eyes were radiating with power. Clearly, they were battle-hardened veterans.Ordinary people would be scared witless by the sight.Harvey, on the other hand, was unfazed. He calmly stepped forward until he was only a few step
Kyren Pedler stared deep into Harvey York’s eyes. He did not expect the young man before him to be this interesting.“Since you don’t want me to save the remainder of your dignity, I won’t respect you just because of my daughter either.“I’ll be frank.“You seem capable, but you’re nothing compared to the country’s top talents.“You don’t even have the right to be with my daughter, let alone anything after that.“I hope that you’d break all connection with her.“Of course, I’ll make it worthwhile for you.”Kyren waved his hand before his subordinate brought a briefcase over.Stacks of green were seen inside. Some of it even got caught in the wind in the process.“Here’s a million dollars. You should know that it’s enough for you to live the rest of your life comfortably.“Swear you’ll leave my daughter, and I’ll send you to the best school on the planet. Of course, I’ll also fund everything.“Consider this a repayment for everything you did to my daughter.”Kyren seemed det
Harvey York seemed shocked.“Only now you can tell? I thought I was being obvious!“Did you get your title by giving up your intelligence or something?”Kyren Pedler showed a hint of rage before quickly holding it back.“You’ve got guts, young man,” he said with a faint smile.“After all, the young ones would always think they’re above all.“They think they’re on top of the world.“It’s a shame. Proud people like you can only earn minimum wage after graduating.“If you can hold your pride back a little, maybe you could achieve something.“But if you think the world revolves around you, then you must be too naive.“You’re not worth my concern anymore.”Kyren turned around with his arms crossed.His subordinates also coldly glared at Harvey.“Young man, if you cast away your pride and do as my master says…” advised the elderly man, looking curious.“Maybe he’d give you a chance to become a successful person.“In your eyes, this may seem like humiliation.“But when you loo
“Right. Back to business. Did we figure out the whereabouts of the beads?”When he changed the subject, Kyren Pedler was looking at his documents on a laptop.“There are four with Aenar Temple right now.“Kronen Temple and Adenar Temple have one each.“The Two-Eyed, Three-Eyed, Four-Eyed, Five-Eyed, Six-Eyed, and the Seven-Eyed Beads are included.“The One-Eyed Bead is in the hands of a mysterious buyer.“The Eight-Eyed Bead seemed to be with the Higgs family, and the Nine-Eyed Bead with the Klein family.”“Tch! It won’t be right if I act before the Nine Eyed Beads are gathered. After all, this isn’t our turf. We should wait until the ceremony starts before we do anything,” said Kyren after briefly pondering the situation.“And the other thing?”“The competition between the four great tribes is about to start,” replied Mr. Tanaka.“Because of the forces arriving at the outskirts, the competition would be extremely massive.“According to our intel, Henrik Higgs, the man who l
“What’s the Border Force even doing?“Why are they letting someone like Kyren waltz in here?Dutch gave a bitter chuckle.“Our brother from Sword Camp doesn’t have the final say, Sir York.“Hannah Jean is the person in charge.“She is probably quite close with Kyren, so it would be easy to have him show up in the outskirts.”“Got it,” replied Harvey.“Since someone forgot about the previous arrangement, then I’ll have to give him a good lesson.”Dutch slightly nodded before he was reminded of something.“Right, Sir York.“Kyren probably came here all of a sudden to join the competition in a few days.”Harvey seemed curious.“The competition?”“You don’t know this, Sir York. To properly distribute everyone’s benefits, the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe would hold a yearly competition.“Everyone can join.“The person who wins in the competition would be able to integrate all sorts of resources in the coming year.“It doesn’t matter what Kyren’s intentions are. He
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Ernie Surrey had been waiting outside the No.1 villa in a Land Rover.After entering the car, Harvey York could see an elderly man in his fifties.Other than Wildcat and Ernie’s subordinates, Lennon and Aria Surrey were absent.“Sir York, Grandfather said that Conrad is an unreasonable man. He let me handle everything in the competition since he needed to remain on guard in the outskirts.”Ernie showed a respectful expression.“Another thing. Let me introduce you. This is our top expert of the Surrey family, as well as my uncle, Samir Surrey.“Uncle Samir, this is Master York.”Samir, who had been resting his eyes, suddenly glared at Harvey.After seeing Harvey’s youngish impression, he gave a cold scoff before casually closing his eyes again.Ernie felt extremely awkward after seeing the sight. His uncle had been training in Carrion Palace for the longest time. Lennon Surrey also put a great deal of effort into getting Samir here.It was on
After driving in the desert for nearly two hours, the car finally arrived at the oasis.A vast lake surrounded the place. It seemed like paradise.Since the place was not governed for the longest time, only a few rules existed there.That said, Ernie Surrey and the others were quite familiar with the roads here. The car arrived at a small villa soon after.A few guards with firearms were patrolling the area. They immediately took their safeties off, looking cautious after seeing the convoy drive over.After Ernie made a call, a dark-skinned, stocky middle-aged man came out of the villa.“I’ve been waiting, Young Master Ernie.”The man came over with a smile.Ernie glanced at the man before speaking.“Sir York, Uncle Samir, this is the boss of a small gang here, Mr. Hart. He’s considered our contact here.”“You’re too kind! I’m just a nobody before you anyway!”Mr. Hart shook his head.If he needed to survive in a lawless place like this, he required the background and suppo
The market was not that big. The roads were not exactly spacious since there were no rules to follow.Besides the fact that Harvey York had no intention of avoiding the group in front of him, Kyren Pedler instantly noticed him while looking confused.“Why are you here?”Harvey did not mind the encounter too much. After all, Kyren must have come here for his own reason.It would be odd if he did not show up for the competition.Harvey gave a slight nod as a form of greeting.Kyren showed an odd look. He did not think Harvey would still be this indifferent even after seeing him here.Then again, he had other things to do.“I’m living in Saber Villa right now. You’ll know where it is after asking around.“Come over later.”Then, Kyren left with the others.Harvey could hear a mix of pride, disdain, and concern in Kyren’s words.He did not say anything about it, though. After asking the woman beside him the time and place of the competition, Harvey casually went there.When he
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"You're someone who has experience, too. You know that you'll need at least three hours to prepare to get this many military helicopters deployed. It's not something that you can do in an instant. It means that while you're still fighting with Sora and his men, Isoroku has been standing by in this place."Not to mention that we Fujiharas will never work with them before getting what we want. Which means that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew that you will most likely survive even if you're at a disadvantage. That's why they've been staying here for a long time."While everyone knew that Kenta was probably just spewing nonsense, Clarion was still partially convinced when he heard how Kenta made his argument sound plausible. Could it be that Kenta was not the one pulling the strings here?Harvey narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "At the very least, Kenta's right about his social standing being insufficient to work with Isoroku. Not to mention that now that they have obtai
At this time, the helicopter was passing through rows of mountains and valleys. This area was uninhabited. After passing through this uninhabited area, one would arrive at the Golden Triangle. Once one passed through the Golden Triangle, one would reach Hyperborea and finally Grand City.It was around this time that Harvey could feel a burst of murderous intent."Crap! Everyone, brace yourselves!" Clarion suddenly yelled as he looked in front of him from the front seats. He even took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep huff to increase his mental focus as his expression darkened.Harvey quickly walked over to the front and narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw a swarm of helicopters flying in mid-air in a tight formation. Harvey looked at the flag on the helicopters with a smirk and gave Kenta a glance. "This is your so-called guarantee?"Kenta's expression also darkened as he looked in front in disbelief. After a while, he finally spoke in a shaky voice, "Forget about the helico
